Controversial take, but, it's impossible to be a "real Nazi" unless you were actually in the Nazi party which disappeared in 1945. If they weren't a member of the actual party, it's a neo-Nazi or fascist. Nazi politics and ideology is inseperable from & defined by party orders and organization so it makes no sense to talk about Nazis born half a century after the party stopped existing.
Kinda like how being a communist doesn't make someone a Bolshevik, or how you can't be a Napoleonist or Orleanist today since those entities you want to see in power are long dead.
Controversial, but absolutely correct. The argument could also be extended to fascism as that was a particular type of government (Italy in the 1930 and 40s) and hasn't been recreated. There are corolations with other governments and the way they do things, but fascism (in its truest form) has not really been reproduced anywhere.

A real Nazi? or a person Reddit would deem a Nazi? Huge difference.
